Everybody says 4-6 weeks, or maybe longer ,maybe shorter. But my question is does this mean 4-6 weeks at the right dosage? For ex: If somebody was on 30 mgs of a drug for 3 weeks, then went to 60 mgs for the next 3 weeks...is that a fair trial of the AD? or is a fair trial 4-6 weeks at the 60 mg?

I have never had response before 6 weeks, so for me 4-6 weeks is way too short. I would of missed most of the AD's that have worked for me if I just did 4-6 weeks. I tend to have dramatic response at 6-8 weeks with it taking 2 full months to feel full effects.

I read that you should give it 8 weeks at the full theraputic dose.
